[s-cars] Cashmere/Black S6 Avant on Wisconsin Craigslist...

This spring my wife said she was tried of driving an automatic (a civic
given us by her grandmother).  The said she wanted a five speed and a
sunroof.  The kids (now 5 and 7) can buckle themselves in so she also wanted
a 2 door.  She now drives an 03 GTI 1.8T and loves it.  I am still driving
her first car an 89 CRX Si (5 speed) as I am between Audis.  So I got pretty
lucky, she is also pretty tolerant of my love of older cars.  I think an
Ur-S6 Avant is first on my list, but they rarely come up within reasonable
driving distance of SW VA.

Brown wouldn't be my first choice, but your right it would make a hell of a
sleeper.
